I have used paid versions of AVG with JAWS for many years without any
trouble. I have been told that with both the free versions of AVG and
MicroSoft Essentials there are still vulnerabilits to computers. I dealt
with this with a friend who was using MicroSoft Essentials a couple of years
and he became so infected using it he required taking his computer for it to
be healed by the Geeksquad. For what its worth Microsoft Essentials does not
show up on most rating lists for antivirus programs so I guess it goes back
to the old addage "you get what uyou pay for." Buyer beware!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] AVG 2016 Versus Microsoft Essentials
Hello Gang:
About 2 weeks ago, a VA rep, with my permission, put AVG internet security
on my two computers. AVG assassinated JAWS. She recommended that it be
removed until "AVG gets their problem fixed."
By the way, when she installed AVG, she did not choose to make JAWS an
exception to AVG.
Her suggestion now is to install Microsoft Essentials, as the anti-virus
software.
I don't know one anti-virus software from another. I just know, in the
past, I have had AVG, without any problem.
Any recommendations between AVG and Microsoft Essentials?
Thanks a bunch. Neil
